He spent one week in hospital.
President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins said he suffered a mild stroke in February of this year.
The stroke resulted in a week long stay in hospital.
In his first interview following the incident, President Higgins said that thankfully, he's feeling a lot better now.
He told The Irish Times: "I'm fine now. What I had was a form of mild stroke. It didn't affect my cognitive abilities. It affected simply my motor side, which was on the left-hand side.
"My left hand is fully back. But the stroke somehow exacerbated stuff that I had in my lower back. I'm getting that fixed in the next week."
